SUFFERING FOR CHRIST!

” FOR THE MORE WE SUFFER FOR CHRIST THE MORE GOD WILL SHOWER US WITH HIS COMFORT THROUGH CHRIST.” 2 CORINTHIANS 1:5

As we surround ourselves with the ways of our Lord, we increasingly desire to live our lives in his ways. Living a life for Jesus is not the most popular thing you can do. There will be persecution from the devil whether we like it or not. There will those who walk away from us or not associate with us at all because of our beliefs. Because of the way we believe we will be attacked in many different ways. There will be sickness, accidents, family problems, diseases and many other bad things that will attack us and those we love. We must remember that it is how we respond to these things that count. If we are living our life for Christ, we must be able to put all of these things in perspective. We must remember that we are being attacked because of him. He was attacked and treated poorly while walking this earth and we, his followers, will be attached as well. However, we are comforted by God’s promises. He tells us that the more we suffer for him the more he will comfort us. We must believe, we must trust, and we must have strengthened faith. If we do, then we will be able to live through the suffering because of God’s comfort given to us through Christ. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
